The hometown of Leonardo de Vinci

Vinci, is a very cute little town that was the birth place of Leonardo De Vinci. I think this was my favourite places to visit so far. This entire town is devoted the Italian master and most of his inventions. The museum was interesting and it was located in two parts, the second being situated in the castle tower. So, you could climb the tower then be rewarded with some of the most spectacular views of Tuscany. Then we stopped for a drink at cafe Leonardo which was right next door to the information centre. To be honest it barely needs an information post as the town is very well signposted and it is very little. Andrew and I have taught in schools that are bigger!.
Anyway it was a nice slice of Italian life without many tourists in sight. The view from the tower was really spectacular and a hidden gem among dozens of other tuscan villages. Funny that Vinci is not mentioned in the lonely planet.
